When the game spawns you on this Minecraft seed we recommended heading southeast into the desert. You cannot see it from line-of-site due to a soft hill, but you’re just a few minutes away from a desert village that is also adjacent to a desert temple. We didn’t even go inside the temple (we usually leave that as a surprise). We did, however, give the village a good look, and there’s a lot to do (and get)!

Before you take off to find the villages, desert temple and well, go ahead and dig on down. You’ve spawned straight above lapis and gold (there’s coal and iron kicking around down there, too). When you’re done mining, assuming you mine before adventuring off, you don’t have to go far to find civilization. There’s a village right up the river on a plain (you can see it when the game starts).

This Minecraft jungle seed spawns you deep in a thick jungle. It’s difficult to see precisely where you are (and where the temple is). But, if you dig down to the ground level, climb up (or fly if you’re in creative mode) you’ll notice that straight to the south you’ll see a structure made of cobblestone and moss stone – a jungle temple. You can’t miss it – it’s only a minute or two to walk to it.

Here’s one of the more extreme extreme hills we’ve seen in the desktop version of Mineraft. But first, the spawn location. At spawn you are in a savanna facing a desert (and the extreme hill) with a village right in front of you. The village has a blacksmith. His loot is two iron picks, gold ingots and food (bread and apples). Now about that temple.
